Joseph Hope

British Army Royal Field Artillery

from:Heathcote Road, Longton

My grandfather's brother Joseph Hope served in the Royal Field Artillery during WW1. I have checked the medal rolls and unfortunately there are 4 Joseph Hope's serving in the Royal Field Artillery, so I don't know which one he is. When the backs were digitised on Ancestry.co.uk I checked them but there was no information there.

My Mum was a war orphan, she was 3 months old when her father was killed and she was brought up by her maternal grandmother and she wasn't encouraged to know her father's family (family feud perhaps). However when she was about 14 she met her Uncle Joseph who was then working as a commissionaire outside a local cinema, this would have been in Longton or Fenton, Staffordshire, in the late 20's early 30's.

If anyone has any other information I would love to know it.
